Hi Sam.

If you still have any of your crystals or any protein solution left in the well 
you harvested your crystals, I would run a MS/MS with them. Next step would be 
to run AF with your known chain A and your best Mass Spec hit (s), and use the 
resulting model for MR.

Good luck

Hi,
If you still have crystals left, you could soak crystals with KI3 and collect 
data at Cu wavelength for SAD phasing, which could help you to resolve the 
missing piece. Maybe.
Cheers,
Boaz

Dear community,

I am solving the structure of a complex between proteins A and B, where A is a 
protein with known homologs and B is a novel protein isolated from plant. The 
diffraction data was at 1.9 Ang collected in-house, indexed to P321. Using A as 
the search model, we have got a reasonable solution where, after one round of 
refinement, the A chain fits the map pretty well. What's left was to extend the 
termini and fit a few rotamers.

For protein B (B chain) I have tried the web version of ARP/wARP but the 
outcome was not really good. The model was not successfully built as indicated 
by low model completeness and score. The tricky thing may be that we do not 
have the complete sequence information of this protein B in-hand. (The other 
way round, we more or less wish to rely on the high resolution data to confirm 
its sequence.) What approach would you then recommend to build the B chain in 
this scenario?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Sam
